Marsala Wineries Day Trip
Visit the historic wine cellars of Marsala’s famous Florio and Donnafugata wineries – leading producers of traditional Marsala wine. This one-day oenophile adventure sets off from Palermo, heading straight to heritage Florio Winery – Marsala producers for over 200 years – then onto family-run Donnafugata Winery, making wine for over a century. Here, guests will be treated to a viticulture class from Donnafugata’s expert winemaker, before a Sicilian lunch on site. En route back to the city, the tour will take in the coastal “via del sale”, or salt road – a remarkable stretch of salt-plans and windmills, dating back to the Phoenicians and still used today.
